QA Engineer (Trader Acquisition)

At Exness, we are not just a leading trading broker—we’ve reimagined what it takes to be a leader. With 2,000+ people across 13 countries, we combine scale, care, and real tech to make trading better for over a million clients globally.

Recognised globally as a Best Place to Work, we’re a people-first company where long-term wins always matter more. As part of our team, you will shape the future of fintech with real technology, care, and purpose.

Why this role matters

As a QA Automation Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and stability of our products by embedding quality throughout the software development lifecycle. Working as part of a cross-functional Scrum team, you'll partner closely with developers, analysts, DevOps engineers, designers, and product owners to deliver high-quality product increments every sprint.

Your primary mission is to build and maintain scalable automated test suites, continuously improve our testing framework and CI/CD pipelines, and proactively identify quality risks before they reach production. Beyond testing, you'll help establish engineering best practices, drive AI adoption across quality processes, and contribute to building a strong quality culture across the organization.

The role is based in our Limassol office, Cyprus. In case of relocation, we offer full relocation support for you and your family to make your move smooth and worry-free.

What you'll actually do

• Plan testing activities during backlog refinement and sprint planning by defining test scope, approach, acceptance criteria, and effort estimates for both manual and automated testing.

• Design, develop, and maintain automated tests across multiple layers including UI, API, integration, end-to-end, and database testing using modern automation frameworks and best practices.

• Execute manual functional, regression, and exploratory testing while preparing and maintaining reliable test environments, test data, mocks, and feature flags.

• Continuously improve the automation framework by developing reusable components, reducing flaky tests, refactoring legacy code, and increasing overall test coverage and stability.

• Integrate automated testing into GitLab CI/CD pipelines, monitor pipeline health, investigate failures, and collaborate with DevOps to ensure rapid feedback for engineering teams.

• Participate in production deployments by executing post-deployment validation, verifying critical user journeys with production data, and providing clear go/no-go recommendations based on release readiness and identified risks.

• Communicate testing progress, quality metrics, risks, and blockers to stakeholders while actively collaborating with developers, product owners, architects, and designers throughout each sprint.

• Drive adoption of AI across quality engineering practices, including test generation, monitoring, data quality validation, and code review processes.

• Mentor team members on quality engineering best practices, establish quality standards across the SDLC, and lead testing efforts for complex cross-team initiatives when required.

Who we’re looking for

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

• ISTQB Foundation certification or similar is a plus.

• 4–6 years of experience in software testing, with at least 2 years focused on automation.

• Strong experience in backend automation testing, including APIs, integrations, and service-level testing.

• Strong programming skills in an object-oriented language such as Python, Java, or Go.

• Experience with API testing tools and frameworks.

• Experience building and maintaining automated test suites for backend systems.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitLab CI/CD.

• Working knowledge of Docker and modern engineering practices.

• Understanding of databases and SQL.

• Experience with web/UI automation tools such as Playwright or Selenium is a plus.

• Strong practical experience using AI tools in engineering workflows, with the ability to demonstrate how AI has improved testing, development, or productivity processes.

• Experience with AI assistants such as Claude, Codex, or similar tools is highly desirable.

• Experience with observability, monitoring, or infrastructure automation is a plus.

What we offer along the way

• Competitive salary and annual performance bonus

• Full relocation support for you and your family — flights, housing, visas, and legal assistance included

• Top-tier health insurance with full family coverage — medical, dental, vision, mental health — plus life insurance for peace of mind

• Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees

• 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave

• Employee appreciation program: branded gifts, birthday day-offs, celebration budgets for weddings, newborns, and milestones
